IPC: G01N3/06
Filed: 1909-07-26
Granted: 1909-12-31
Abstract: 17,349. Fentzloff, W. July 26. Indicating small movements; magnifying by plate and roller.-In a gauge for measuring linear movements and deflexions, such as the cleflexions in structures and bridges, a transmitting-member is passed between a friction roller, provided with an indicating-means, and a pressure roller mounted on a slide, such that any movement of the transmitting-member is transmitted to the indicating-means. Fig. 1 is a front view, and Fig. 2 a plan of the apparatus. The transmitting-member, which may be a wire, band, or the like, has one end attached to the material and the other end passing between the friction roller d and the pressure roller g. The roller d is mounted on the points e, e<1>, the latter being carried by a frame f, and has a counterbalanced indicating- arm c attached adapted to move over the dial b. The pressure roller g is mounted in a slide i, which is under the control of a spring in the body of the frame a, and an opening k is provided in the frame to allow the transmitting- member to be inserted. In a modification, the rotatable pointer may be replaced by a dial moving over a fixed pointer. Two pressure rollers may be employed instead of the single roller; or in place of the rollers grooved pulleys or disks may be employed.

Granted: 1911-07-06
Abstract: 16,242. Bingham, G. C. July 7. Plug cocks.-For facilitating the clearing of spraying-nozzles, the direction of flow of fluid through the nozzle orifice is made reversible by reversing the position of the outlet aperture which is formed in a plug cock. The liquid to be sprayed is led through a whirling-chamber. Fig. 1 is a sectional view on the line X-Y of Fig. 3, showing one form of the device. The liquid is fed to the chamber A<1> through the tangential inlet B and issues through the aperture in the plug shown. The plug may be reversed, or by giving it a quarter-turn the flow of liquid may be cut off. The form shown in Fig. 6 is similar to that described, save that a compressed-air pipe G is fitted to assist in the disintegration of the liquid. In another form, the liquid, instead of entering at a tangent, enters through spiral passages. Fig. 11 shows another form in which the whirling-chamber may be formed at the back of the plug and fitted with a screw H in the inlet G to produce the whirling effect.
